Welcome to Make Your Own Tableware: Handbuilding Dishes event at HICKORY CLAY!

Whether you're a beginner or experienced artist, this event is perfect for anyone looking to unleash their creativity and make one-of-a-kind tableware.

Spend 8 weeks making your own set of dishes by hand. Each lesson will guide you through a new piece: plates, salad plates, bowls, mugs, and serving pieces. You'll make about four pieces of each type. This class is beginner friendly and open to people of all skill levels.
In the first lesson you'll try a few techniques so you can work through the style of your set. In the second lesson you’ll be invited to bring in dishes and bowls to use as templates to learn how to pour your own plaster hump molds. You'll plan your path so you can create a cohesive look across your pieces. After that you'll move onto specific pieces. Pieces will be fired and glazed throughout the class.
WHEN: Sundays at 10:30am
8 weeks for $400: Sept 8, 15, 22, 29, Oct 6, 13, & 20.
